Minecraft just got a whole lot more aggressive with the 1.9 Combat Update on PC.

Players will now be able to hold two items at the same time and use them independently. You can equip one of the new shields for instance, alongside a sword or axe. Or a weapon and a torch for better visibility during night fights.

There are now sweeping attacks for swords, and a cool down for attacks. If you swing wildly and constantly you’ll do less damage than timing a more accurate blow.

There’s also a bunch of different arrows added to the game, new sound effects and other changes. Check out all the big changes below.

Added shields

Attacking now has a “cool-down” delay, making it more important to time your attacks

You can now hold items in both hands (default quick key to swap items is ‘F’)
